Can Soaring Ticket Prices Be.... Less Expensive?

Is Red Lobster Clawing Its Way Back? We Went to Hartford to Find Out!

Two years ago, we covered the bankruptcy of Red Lobster. It is commonly held that Red Lobster went broke due an endless shrimp promotion, but as we learned then, the story is much more complicated. In this episoide, we revisit why Red Lobster actually went broke, but more importantly, we cover how its new CEO, thirty-something Damola Adamolekun, is trying to revive the chain. And, we felt that we had to see the turnaround in person so... we drove to the nearest location, in Hartford, CT, to do in-person research. Part restaurant review and part business story, WNW is deliciously good this week!    Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2232600/fan_mail/new]

Can Soaring Ticket Prices Be.... Less Expensive?

Olivia Rodrigo. The World Cup. Even a touring production of Les Mis. Ticket sales have become a global business, and the local concert goer is often buying more expensive tickets on the resale market. Maybe this good for consumers who have access to events they want to go to and know that they are getting verified tickets? Maybe it is not so good.... more expensive tickets mean that consumers budgets are focused on fewer shows! We discuss the pros, the cons and what some bands, provinces and countries are doing to bring costs down on this week's WNW!  Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2232600/fan_mail/new]

Is the MAHA Moment Over?

Make America Healthy Again!?! It sounds pretty appealing but what is this movement really about and why does it seem to be coming to an abrupt end? Maya and Dad discuss the evolution of the movement, the good and not so good beliefs/outcomes and the reasons for its (word of the week) schism, which may  threaten Donald Trump's chances in the midterms and consequently open the door to a world of problems for him. On this episode, one thing is certain, we are making WNW WNW again! Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2232600/fan_mail/new]

We Saw The Melania Movie... So You Don't Have To!

Our one word reviews... The Melania Movie was (dad) "appalling" and (Maya) "wasteful." Yes, we saw the Melania movie in an all but empty theatre on a Tuesday night and we did our best to view it thoughtfully and critically, but Melania made it impossible. in this episode, we discuss the controversies surrounding the film itself and we discuss the substance of the film or the lack thereof.
